Welcome to the Bay Area SUASI web site
The Super Urban Area Security Initiative (SUASI) Program provides financial assistance to address the unique multi-disciplinary planning, operations, equipment, training and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density urban areas, and to assist them in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism. SUASI funding remains primarily focused on enhancing capabilities to address CBRNE, agriculture and cyber-terrorism incidents; however, in support of national ongoing preparedness initiatives addressing such issues as pandemic influenza and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the allowable scope of SUASI Program activities was expanded, provided that these activities also build capabilities that relate to terrorism.
